When you sharpen the teeth, make sure you are 

wearing heavy duty gloves. Make sure the tool chain is 

safely attached.

Make sure the engine is stopped.

Use a special rounded chainsaw file of the correct size 

for the chain.

Place the file on the cutting tooth between the cutting 

edge (A) and the depth gauge (B); and apply light

pressure forwards keeping an angle of 30º filing the 

cutting edge of the tooth.

First file the teeth on one side, always using outward 

movements and maintaining the 30º angle, and then 

file teeth on the other side.

Check the height of the safety gauge (C), which should 

be around 0.6 mm. If the height of “C” is too low, it 

will mean the chain will not cut well and if it is too 

high, it will mean the chain will “bite” the wood too 

much, causing the engine to overwork.

Check the length of  the cutting teeth. All the teeth 

must be of the same length. If necessary, file the long 

teeth until they are all of the same length.

8.2. OTHERS

Carry out periodical inspections with the aim of 

ensuring a safe and efficient performance from the 

tool. For a complete inspection of the tool, please 

contact your distributor.

Keep the machine clean, especially the areas near the 

gas tank and air filter.

Before adjusting or repairing the machine, make sure 

the engine is stopped and the cover of the spark plug 

has been removed.

Use the appropriate parts in order to obtain a safe and 

adequate performance from the product. These parts 

can be obtained from your distributor.

The use of other accessories could can cause 

potential risks, injuries to the operator or damage to 

the machine.

8.2.1. AIR FILTER

The obstruction of the air filter will cause the 

performance of the engine to decrease. If necessary, 

inspect and clean this element. If any damage or 

alteration is observed, replace it with a new one.

To clean the dirt on the 

filter open the cover 

(1) unscrew the lid and 

remove the filter.

The dust on the surface of the filter can be removed 

by hitting a corner of the filter against a hard surface.

To clean the dirt inside, separate both parts of the 

filter by using a screwdriver, as shown in the drawing,
